More than twenty-five years after the original decks, we’re pleased to announce the return of Storypath Cards and Whimsy Cards in a new Kickstarter project.

A small game company called Lion Rampant published the original Whimsy Cards. After Lion Rampant merged with White Wolf, we published a new version of the cards called Storypath Cards in 1990. All these cards sought to encourage and empower tabletop players to add to the narrative of roleplaying games. A Gamemaster remains in charge and all-knowing, but now the players gain a measure of input with this system-supported means of gaining permission to affect the story.

The project adds two new decks to the original Path of Horror and Path of Intrigue, which will also both be updated to a new quality edition of full-color, linen-finished tarot cards. The new Path of Hope and Path of Adventure are 100% compatible with the original decks, which may all be combined or mix-and-matched.

The project has funded, but we seek your support to commission new artworkand add more cards to all four decks of Storypath Cards. The project runs through April 14th.

The Nature of the Sinister Spacebusiness & blog

All the latest news from Nocturnal Media scrolls down the screen at the left, but in addition to announcements and updates, this section contains blog-like material by Stewart Wieck, owner of Nocturnal Media. These more personal pieces could have a section of their own, but it seemed better to consider them in the context of the concurrent news. In this way, the business information and the blog entries together form a sort of digital history of Nocturnal Media and game-designer & author Stewart Wieck.
